Be Careful What You Wish For

Be Careful What You Wish For

Lately, I’ve been wishing life could slow down. Everything has just felt a little chaotic and it seems we’re constantly rushed as we dash from one place to the other. This weekend I was hoping to get some insight into how to lead a less stressed life as I listened to our church’s semiannual General Conference, but an answer came before the conference even started. Noel and I were out for a 6 mile trail run (made possible by mother-in-law being in town). We’d fought the first three miles going uphill into the wind and were enjoying the easy descent back to our house. I generally consider myself to be quite nimble, so I was cruising down the mountain dodging rocks like a mountain goat. Can you see where this is going? Three-quarters of the way down I rolled my ankle in a heart-stopping-breath-seizing moment. Adrenaline kept me going home and got me through two more miles of walking with some ladies from church, but by the time I sat down to watch conference it was pretty sore and swollen. I’ve literally had to slow down this weekend, so I guess I got what I wished for. I think I’ll lay off the wishes for awhile.

  1. Ouch! So sorry! I agree with Pam, I was thinking the same thing about your toenails. One way to slow down – regular pedicures! 😉
